You have been subscribed to a public bug: For example: In Dapper Xorg uses 3 times more processor power with Superkaramba: With certain themes (those very big, I suppose) like sys_mon Xorg is so power hungry that the system is sluggish (e.g. when watching movie the image stops every 4 seconds for 0.5 seconds, dropping frames). On breezy, same version of Superkaramba and sys_mon used 15% of CPU; now it uses 45-60%. System spec: Athlong 64 3000+ 1GB Ram Nvidia 6200 256Mb DDR2 with Nvidia-glx driver (nv). DRI and GLX activated.
I have tested the live CD in another system (PIV 2400 512 Mb Ram) to verify the slowness, and the system peaks CPU use with every window movement. Other bugs like #38131 and #1363 could be the related. I think it could be due to the "virtual" transparence of this theme and his area over the desktop. I think this is not kde-related, as long as I had kde 3.5 on breezy. I will summit xorg.conf and sys_mon if asked. I'm sorry for my english, hello from Spain. ** Affects: kdeutils (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium Status: Incomplete -- In Dapper Xorg is extremely Power Hungry https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bugs/48587 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kdeutils in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
